Blizzard has hotfixed in the ability to track the presence of world buffs at the start of raid encounters. This may be related to a conversation earlier today discussing the reliance on world buffs for parsing and the inability to filter out runs that rely on these buffs.

In World of Warcraft: Classic, many players realized that raids aren't quite as difficult as they might have remembered them from 15 years ago. Thanks to the competitive scene that formed during private servers and paved the way, many Classic players that want to challenge themselves in PvE content have turned to speedrunning raids. Guilds are competing with one another in an attempt to clear raids as quickly as possible, setting insanely fast times, and even finishing raids in just over 20 minutes! Today, we'll take a closer look at the speedrunning scene, some basics to get players started, and what top Guilds are doing!

Today in Classic WoW, 40 Shamans from the EU/RU server Змейталак (Wyrmthalak) have gathered together to defeat Molten Core! This run was organized and streamed by Xacy, GM of <Нам Везёт Мы Играем>. Congratulations to them!

Blizzard has updated their Classic Character Transfer Restrictions to add a few new realms to both EU and US lists. These restrictions have been put in place in an effort to control the population growth of the largest realms.

The birth of the very first meme, and to this day the most known meme in the history of WoW, happened 15 years ago on this day! The video of Leeroy Jenkins ruining the Upper Blackrock Spire run for his guild, <PALS FOR LIFE>, went live on WarcraftMovies for the first time on May 11th, 2005.
